When selling Rosso di Montalcino most of us compare it to Brunello as a value. Fossacolle makes a tremendous Brunello, but to try to compare the Brunello to the Rosso is a disservice to the quality of the Rosso. This wine is very fresh, bright, vibrant, and in no way leaves you wanting more ”stuffing”.

From a small Brunello vineyard, just the young vines for the Rosso.

Black cherries, tar, fresh and slightly barnyard. Bigger body but, velvety. Medium acid and a woody finish.

2013 vintage
Блестящий, полупрозрачный цвет. Вишня, малина, клюква, красная смородина, белый перец, подсохшая листва, подлесок, сталь, легкая горечь на финише. Средне-легкое тело, мягкие танины, уравновешенная кислотность. Не слишком глубоко и сложно, но довольно чисто и в меру напряженно. На удивление уже полностью готово к потреблению, хотя будет развиваться и дальше.
